Song lyrics
The gentleman's in the lane
spinning his hat on a cane
stepping out, out for a change

good morning all, it's a beautiful day

the general's are winning a war
seemed suicidal before
you come along, now
I'll protect you long as you stay

LA
morning had to come
I'd be walking in the sun
living in the day
but last night i was about to throw it all away

if patience started a band
I'd be her biggest fan
look at me, I'm talking to you
I don't want the lead in your play

The star's just a part of the scene
the gentelman in green
paying off out on the street
I can't go home, it's not on my way

LA
things I'd never done, cars parked in the sun
living in the day
but last night i was about to throw it all away
last night i was about to throw it all away
last night i was about to throw it all away
last night i was about to throw it all away

Elliott and Lou Barlow are tied for kings of depressing acoustic folk shit.
